On May 28, 2020, it was announced that the show had been renewed for a third season. Between the second and third season, a television special called "Life in Lockdown" aired, highlighting how the Australia Zoo was handling the coronavirus pandemic. There was also a television special titled "Bindi's Wedding," which featured Bindi's marriage to Chandler Powell, her longtime boyfriend and American environmentalist. Both specials aired in 2020.

Now, Season 3 of Crikey! It's the Irwins has started to air exclusively on DiscoveryPlus, with the first episode of the season airing on Feb. 7, 2021, after the Puppy Bowl to entice viewers. The third season will cover topics such as Bindi's pregnancy and the historic Australia wildfires, which left many animals bereft and in need of care.

While it may be disappointing to fans that Crikey! It's the Irwins requires another pesky cable login to access, hopefully the continued success of the show will put it back on Animal Planet soon. Until then, maybe it's time to take a walk down memory lane (does anyone else remember when the Irwins were on The Wiggles?) and do a re-watch of all the Crocodile Hunter content.
Crikey! It's the Irwins airs new episodes on DiscoveryPlus every Sunday, or you can catch re-runs on Animal Planet.
